again, the president's running for re-election in a few weeks and this narrative that al qaeda's on the run, that the obama administration has gone after al qaeda, there's a little dent in that now with everything going on in libya, with the attack tied to groups sympathetic to al qaeda and i think even though the state department and secretary clinton taking responsibility, there were a lot of breakdowns obviously that night, not just with security but intelligence assessments about the threat there and ultimately, this is an administration of many agencies that is run by one man, president obama, and he's up for re-election. so i think it might take a little bit of heat off the next couple of days. you have the presidential debate coming up right now but i think ultimately, as a lot of democrats said, this is a witch hunt. that's what they call it. ambassador stevens' father said he thought the death was being politicized and i think secretary clinton was trying to end this politicization and remind people that four people were killed and most importantly, we need to make sure this do
